NBA Power Rankings: The Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James are…bad?

In our NBA Power Rankings, are LeBron and the Lakers bad?

We’re roughly two weeks into the NBA’s official restart and there are plenty of storylines that have been developing through the first few seeding games ahead of the NBA playoffs. One of the biggest happens to center around what has happened with LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

As it currently stands, the Lakers have been one of the most disappointing contenders in the bubble and, specifically, LeBron has looked like a shell of his pre-hiatus regular-season self. Los Angeles has the worst offense in the restart and has a couple of bad losses on its schedule.

There will have a couple of more chances to right the ship before the official start of the playoffs (where the Lakers could face-off against the red-hot Portland Trail Blazers), but there are real concerns and questions about this team.

Will the Lakers be able to right the ship? Will LeBron slowly begin to look like his normal self again?  There are many questions that need to be answered sooner rather than later. Without further ado, here is the latest edition of our NBA Power Rankings.
